It is possible that it is a spider. Spider bites can usually be found to have two tiny puncture marks from their fangs. If you live in the south far (especially Florida or Texas). It could be Fire Ants. They have a nasty sting that will look like a pimple.
Other insects can sting and leave pimple like sores. This is the reaction when the body cannot rid itself of the poison and pushes it our along with wight blood cells forming a puss.
If there is a poison (And it will not hurt if not) make a paste with baking soda and water. Cover the spot with it and let it dry. This will help draw any poison out. You can then use a topical antihistamine (Benedryl gell works great) or after bite to treat the area.

Best thing to do if you think it might be a spider bit is take her to the ER if the Dr.'s office isn't open today... if it is a spider bite depending on what kind of bite she might need medical treatment...
it might be something else like a fire ant or even mosquito bite because they form a white head on the surface after 24 hours..
If she has any symptoms that are out of the ordinary seek medical attention ASAP!!

Yes! It can! Watch it carefully! Its probably nothing to worry about and some over the counter bug bite medicine should relieve the itching and lessen any swelling, but watch her for multiple bites!! If you have the small brown spiders in your area that make the funnel webs, they leave bites like this. I was bit multiple times by this spider (I'm an adult female, 5'10 healthy weight) and the venom from 10-12 bites (i got at night while sleeping) was too overwhelming for my body and I was hospitalized and almost died. Don't over react to a bit or two, but multiple bites could be cause for concern!

Not sure about spider bites, but ant bites will look like that a couple days after the bite. It will go away in a few days.

It could be, but I don't think so. A spider bite is usually red, swollen and very, very painful. What you are describing could be an ant bite. If you have any reason to believe its a spider bite, she needs to go to the ER. Several spiders are very deadly and the complications are extreme, including death.

Probably different types of spider bites look different. Mine was a small bug bite with a scaly round rash that itched around it. If it gets worse or she is showing sings of an allergic reaction take her to the E.R. It may be dangerous. Otherwise it will probably go away.

More likely, if you live in the south, it is a fire ant bite which produces a white pustule. She should be fine and the area might itch or be sore for a few days. Keep an eye on her for 12 hours following any bite to be sure she is not allergic.
